ok, I changed the privileges to BG on my user direct, and bounced the guest, I 
get the following below.  

mylinux:~ # vmcp q privclass
Privilege classes for user mylinux
        Currently: G
        Directory: BG

where else do i have to change privileges so the Currently has B as well  ? 

Thanks again
